Chairman of the association for temporarily-hired researchers at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) is delighted with the fact that the Research Policy Council is to focus on PhDs’ difficult career paths. The next step could be a study whether the working conditions for younger researchers forces them to work for free and to show servility to permanent staff.
French police have the rectors’ permission to use tear gas when students demonstrate. Danish associate professor who teaches at the Sorbonne in Paris is appalled with the situation.
The Board of Directors at the University of Copenhagen want to spend millions of kroner on 11 projects to turn the university's strategy into more than just a policy document.
Foreign researchers and PhD students may now hold sideline jobs without having a separate work permit. It presupposes, however, that the job is related to their field of research. Employees on the Danish so-called pay limit scheme (for high salary contracts) are not, however, included.
The chairmanship of the Danish Economic Council, the so-called economic wisemen, are not against the Danish SU student grant system. But Denmark gives too much of it away, they write in a new report. A more fair system would turn part of the SU grant into a loan, they say.
De økonomiske vismænd er ikke imod SU, men de skriver i ny rapport, at Danmark giver for meget af den væk. Det retfærdige ville være at lave en del af SU'en om til lån, lyder det.
Clearly changes in immigration policy generate winners and losers. But perhaps not the winners and losers that the government might expect.
Better pensions for PhD students and paid holidays for graduates are some of the results included in the academic agreement.
UCPH staff got a 6.2 per cent pay increase and get to keep their lunch break.
